DISCUSSION The City's permit parking program was established to limit intrusion of non - residential and commuter parking into residential neighborhoods. The Fairmont Permit Parking District was initially created in 2003. Owners and residents of properties on the residential blocks north of the Fairmont Permit Parking District have noted a lack of available parking on their streets and asked to participate in the City's permit parking program. These residential blocks are not within an established permit parking district. Consistent with City policies, staff worked with the property owners to determine whether support exists to institute a permit parking district. Sufficient petitions were received from residents of Santiago Street between 17th and 19th Streets to meet the criteria for permit parking. Similar inquiries have also been received from residents of nearby streets. Therefore, to establish an area that accommodates any future requests, staff recommends amending the existing Fairmont Permit Parking District boundary to include the area bounded by Santiago Creek, Lincoln Avenue, 17th Street, the Santa Ana Freeway, and Main Street (Exhibit 1). Council adoption of this resolution is required to finalize the new Fairmont Permit Parking District boundaries (Exhibit 2). STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 — Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #4 (support neighborhood vitality and livability. 55C -1 Resolution Amending Resolution 2003 -047 Fairmont Permit Parking District May 17, 2016 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Pursuant to Article XI (commencing with Section 36 -480) of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana is authorized to adopt resolutions establishing permit parking districts in which parking restrictions apply to all vehicles except those vehicles that have been issued parking permits pursuant to such Article. B. On May 19, 2003, by Resolution No. 2003 -047, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the Fairmont Permit Parking District, as shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. C. The Fairmont residential neighborhood is in need of further parking restrictions to protect its integrity from the intrusion of vehicular parking incidental to commercial and governmental activities, to allow for adequate emergency vehicle access, to counter the visually blighting effect of highly intensive on- street parking, and to discourage overcrowding of dwelling units. Consistent with City policies, sufficient petitions were received from such residents to meet the criteria for permit parking. D. It is necessary to extend such parking restriction and corresponding permit parking system beyond the existing Fairmont neighborhood proper in order to protect nearby areas from increased demand for on- street parking due to the parking restrictions in the Fairmont neighborhood. E. To accommodate the present and future requests, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana now desires to expand the Fairmont Permit Parking District.

The Executive Director of the Public Works Agency is authorized to post appropriate signs giving notice of permit parking restrictions in those portions of the District where permit parking restrictions apply. Section 4. The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to said Article XI and this resolution shall apply to any block within the Fairmont Permit Parking District only after a petition signed by the owners of sixty -six percent (66 %) or more of the residential lots abutting such block have filed a petition with the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency expressing their desire for such parking restrictions, and after signs indicating the parking restrictions on such block have been erected in accordance with said Article XI.

Section 7.
